With Sympathy

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

So sorry for not updating yesterday. Tuesday evening we had to take the living room furniture down to the family room since the new furniture was scheduled to come on Wednesday.

While we were downstairs we noticed the boiler/furnace was leaking water. I had a feeling something was wrong because on Monday I had heat turned on downstairs and it was quite cold down there. The mornings have been quite chilly/frosty lately and with this injection I am cold 90% of the time. I just did not think anything of it because the daytime temps have been hitting mid 70's. Once we saw the water leaking I knew something was off. So, yesterday the guy came that Shawn uses at work for HVAC stuff and had us back in business within 20 minutes. YAY! We have heat again! Oh, and the living room furniture is so nice! This is my second set of Lazy Boy furniture and it's just so well built and comfortable! Here is to another 20 years! LOL

Today, Shawn is back to work and I am set to watch 2 good Hallmark Christmas movies this morning then get some crafting done....at least that's the plan!

I wanted to share a card from World Cardmaking Day with you that the girls & I made. It was another quick & easy one!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lasting Lily (retired), Autumn Leaves (Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set)

Ink: Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Pecan Pie, Basic White, Iconic Celebrations DSP (Online Exclusives), Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Miss Bailee is at Doggy Day Spa this morning and I am looking forward to a fun afternoon stamping since Shawn is going away later on. 

Today I have a set of Sympathy cards to show you that I made recently for on my card rack. I like to work ahead while I have no card orders. 

I have so much is retired products that I keep because you just never know what you may need it for! LOL On these cards I definitely left the paper do all the work and they turned out beautifully!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lasting Lily (retired SAB 19)

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Basic White, Evening Evergreen, Symbols of Hope DSP (retired)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Soft Succulent In Color Jewels (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was the first time I pulled out this pack of paper since I purchased it almost a year ago! I wish I had purchased the coordinating bundle that was in this suite of products because there are dies that would cut those pretty flowers out of the paper. Isn't that how it always goes?!

Hello & Happy Saturday!

It has been a week since my last Stamp Day w Friends!

Today I am sharing another card that us girls made.

I used many different products, some retired and some not.

 I pulled out my pack of Gingham Gala DSP and used a 3 inch wide strip of the Grapefruit Grove color. At first I was not a big fan of this color but I have been finding myself using it more & more! My flowers came from a retired set, Love & Sympathy. The sentiment comes from the SaleABration set, Lasting Lily. I used the retired Ornate Tag Topper Punch to create my tag then the Granny Apple Green & Grapefruit Grove Stampin Write Markers to color my image directly on the rubber. Lastly, we added a Grapefruit Grove bow and some small white pearls.

Card Details:

Stamps: Love & Sympathy (retired), Lasting Lily (SAB 19)

Ink: Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove & Granny Apple Green Stampin Write Markers

Cardstock: Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White, Granny Apple Green, Gingham Gala DSP

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Ornate Tag Topper Punch (retired), Grapefruit Grove Organdy Ribbon (SAB 19), Sm White Pearls, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This is such a pretty Sympathy card!

I know the girls like to have these on hand for when the need arises.
